<TITLE>19. Par 156-161</TITLE>L-156 Let's close by saying this. Oh, Pentecostal hawks, hopping around like vultures, partaking of the world just like the rest of them does, "having a form of godliness, enough to deceive the very Elected if possible, but denying the Power thereof," as says the prophet here. A perfect example of what God's Word said it would be in the last days, a Laodicea church age, "naked, blind, miserable, poor, wretched, and don't know it; claiming that she is big and wealthy, 'has need of nothing.'" And don't know that she's changed from a hawk, a similar brother to a prophet, to keep the Word of God straight; she's turned to a vulture, and feeding her people on dead ecclesiastical rabbits. Exactly right. Wake up! My, how do you expect to be identified, or heirs with the eagles, when such things as that in this great hour when the Rapture is at hand.

L-157 Oh, Christian, oh, believer, if you've been a partial believer, keep on attending the meetings for just a little while (will you?), we got something here that I believe the Lord wants you to know.
It's late; I can't go any farther. I got to close, and maybe finish tomorrow night. But, look, let us bow our heads just a moment.

L-158 I don't want you to notice what grammar I use, but I want you to take heed just a minute to what I said. It's plain enough you could understand it, I'm sure, if you desire to. If you are here tonight, and you're without this experience...
I don't say... You say, "I've danced in the Spirit, jumped all around." Yeah, hawks do the same thing, just like the crows and the vultures. I'm not asking that.
What are you eating on? Where you getting your daily diet? Where are you feeding, from the Word of God or some old a carrion that's been used back yonder, years and years ago? Is your experience, even tonight, with something you've picked up many years ago; or is it fresh and new tonight, new Manna that's just fell from Heaven, and you're feeding your soul on It, looking tomorrow for something good and better? If you're not that way, now with your heads bowed and your eyes closed, and your hearts bowed, ask yourself this sincere question. And not to me, but to God, would you raise your hand in a testimony, of saying this, "God, condition my soul and my spirit, that I can feed only on the Word of God." Would you just raise your hand, say... God bless you. God bless you.

L-159 I don't know just exactly how many is in here, there is, tonight. I'm a very poor judge of crowd, but I'd say at least a third, or more, raised their hands, that they want conditioned souls. Let us remember in prayer now as we bow our heads.

L-160 Dear God, I'm only responsible for saying the Word. And by these little simple parables, little types, the people sees that one is not going to be heir with the other. And we know that in the last days there is going to be people that's going to be raptured up into the Heavens, and some of them will be here when Jesus comes. And we're looking for Him to come even tonight.

L-161 And I'm thinking of thirty, about thirty or thirty-three years ago, knelt here maybe this time of night, along nine-thirty or ten o'clock, praying for a father that was lost. Tonight, Lord, I'm praying for many fathers, many mothers, and brothers and sisters. Won't You have mercy, dear God? It's too late now for my father to do anything about it; he's passed beyond the boundaries of this life. And soon, Lord, we're all going to pass that way. I, too, must go that way. Every man and woman, boy or girl, in here, has to go that way. And we will be accountable for what we do with the Word of God.
